The Perfect Jesus Was Confident (6 of 7)

Luke 4:14-30
If you like basketball there's no better place to grow up than Indiana! Sixty-six years ago Bobby Plump sank a last-second shot and Milan High School went into the record books (and the movies). Forty-one years ago, Larry Bird introduced the world to Indiana State and Terre Haute. Birds' Sycamores didn't win the NCAA title in 1979, but his Celtics won three NBA titles during his professional career.

The game came down to a last-second shot and KC Jones, the Celtics head coach, called a time out. As the team gathered around Jones Bird stepped up and said, ''Give me the ball and everybody get out of my way!''

Successful people always brim with a healthy dose of confidence, and that confidence is contagious and inspirational. Insecure, unqualified and apprehensive people do not inspire others. Successful people not only know where they're going, but they inspire others to follow.
Winston Churchill rallied Great Britain during WW2 by instilling confidence that victory was achievable. Lee Iacoca turned Chrysler around by insuring his customers that their product was going to be excellent. Martin Luther King, Jr. communicated his dream of Civil Rights with a certainty that inspired millions.
A good leader reflects confidence in himself. A great leader inspires others to have self-confidence. But a godly leader inspires people to have confidence in their heavenly Father.
